I don't think giving another extension to dbf files would help.=20
An interesting story:
In my last job, the unix "administrator" girl noticed that one of the =
file
systems was 95% full. Searching for large files, she found a lot of 1GB =
ones
named standard01.dbf, standard02.dbf, etc, all owned by oracle. So, she =
had
the brilliant idea to (before asking anyone) compress all of them to =
free
the file system. Not happy enough, she called to blame me for keeping
different copies of the same 1GB file not compressed... Less than 30 =
seconds
after HER calling, dozens of develovers calling to ask what was =
happening to
their (for lucky) development environment.

Have a nice day!

Perhaps it would be safer to give another extension to database files on =
really important servers to avoid mistakes. Something like *.mpg for=20
instance.
